2005 FXST, the day I brought it home in September
now it sits like this:
changed it with a LePera pleated Cobra seat, painted it black with the 77 Low Rider logo in the paint, Burly narrow 12" apes with 1.7" risers, Biltwell King Fu grips, de-chromed all the controls, headlight from a Wide Glide, lowered the rear a little, Custom Dynamics LED taillight with integrated turn signals, K&N air filter with the cover from my old 72
all that's in the works are set of cams eventually, but I'm in no hurry....pretty happy with it now

rear crash bars
Where'd you find black rear crash bars(bag guards) from? I like the way it came out I got a 14 fatboy lo and have been looking for some rear crash bars(black)
Here is my transformation.
First, when I first bought the Lo. By end of the first season (2011), she was already in getting the engine staged up a notch or two as seen in my sig. During her first winter, I started doing my homework on how I wanted to transform.
After the winter homework it was time to put the plan in action. First round included, bunch of powder coats, 1.5" Carlini Freeway bars, engine guard & aux lights.
Next up was the new RWD & Klockwerk tins. Which took forever to get painted!!! At the same time the chrome shop matched the light rings to brushed alum by trial and error in satin chrome. And of course the Shotgun Shock.
After I finally gave into the thought of bagging, it was time to order up the 36" Samson duals the following winter.
Then the Cavalry bags...
Here is a pic to show how the rear end turned out...
Followed by the C&C solo seat, more powder coats and rest of the bling.
Here she is today seen with Fab's Vicla...
And an endgame pic...
The bike that inspired me the most was Jimsfbl's fatboy Lo back in 2011. Even though it was a different style that I chose, his bike made me want to make my Lo my own. And the Vicla & Cruiser gave me the ideas to hybrid both styles. I believe I nailed it. And still today, I believe I have one of a kind And It's all mine!
There was more work involved not mentioned above such as, modifying the taillight bar, saddle bag guard (which will be replaced with a thicker custom fab'd bar this winter), LED lights, etc...
Cheers.
